Testimony: "Calyon gives you the possibility to evolve rapidly"
Testimony of Guillaume Laubscher, Senior Manager, Corporate Secretary - International, Gulf countries
What are your daily responsibilities?
At the beginning I joined Calyon for a V.I.E program. My mission took place in Frankfurt within the IT Department of Calyon. I worked as an IT engineer. This first experience allowed me to be in touch with all departments of the Bank and to have an overview of the different business lines. After that, I spent one year at Calyon Bank Türk and two years again at Calyon in Germany. My main mission was to manage the deployment of the new core banking system of the Bank, which allowed me to deepen my knowledge of all the business lines. Now, I have taken over the position of Organisation manager at Calyon Gulf, based in Dubai and Bahrain. I am taking care of all the transverse projects (between head office, support and front office functions) and handling the business continuity plan of the Bank.
What do you think about your evolution inside Calyon?
Through my four years experience, I can say that working for Calyon, you have the possibility to evolve and to get a very interesting position rapidly, since you are motivated, flexible and willing for new opportunities.
What do you appreciate most in your job at Calyon?
I really do appreciate the variety of areas in my job and the flexibility it requires. I chose Calyon because of its international implementation. I enjoy the culturally rich environment I am working in as well as the several languages I have to deal with. Not one day looks like the other. From accounting to IT, from back office to risk, from legal to client and business constraints, I have really learnt a lot and I’m learning more every day.
